A long time ago one of the best free firewalls used to be ZoneAlarm, however after installing it now, it seems to have become a bloated, scare- and shareware. A firewall I use on a regular basis and is free is Comodo. Quite happy with that one and I'm also using Peerblock. For antivirussoftware I used to use AVG, until surveys showed that Avira was way better. But as said above, the only firewall you usually need is a hardware firewall, Linux and common sense. If you want to be totally free of any gaps in security just stay off the internet and never use media that might get infected So yeah, most default settings are usually good enough.

This thread is over two months old, the OP is either gone, or got his answer. No need to comment on it.
